After replacing my steering wheel r34 gtt, the indicators still stay on after turning. I barely even moved the clock spring, maybe a few degrees up and down. Does anybody know the exact procedure to realign the clock spring? Thanks

I think from memory you gently rotate it one way until it stops, then you rotate it in the opposite direction( taking note of the alignment triangles as they pass each other ) counting the number of rotations until  it stops again. Then divide the number by 2 and rotate it back again that number and line up the two triangles and your done.

I tried that, it didn’t work. It was 5.5 full revolutions from one side to the other. So I spun it 2.75 revolutions and aligned both the arrows. 
does the clock spring have a fuse by any chance?

Not that I am aware of ! 

Pin on the top of the clock spring aligned up with he reviving hole in the back of the steering wheel ?

Seems a little strange it not working !

Ive got a R34 auto triptronic steering wheel on my R33 with a R34 auto clock spring in it !

Bro I went to someone I know and got it sorted for peanuts. Inside the clock spring there is also another green plastic thing you need to align too, and I did not know that.  I was just aligning the black face of the clock spring . I feel like an idiot

How did they fix it? Writing here just incase I need to do this. I thought you're never supposed to rotate the clockspring because it can brake the wires inside or is this relating to the steering angle sensor?

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
